On March 14, the celebrations for Pi Greco Day will reopen, dedicated to one of the most famous mathematical constants in history and, since 2020, also celebrated as the International Day of Mathematics.
Organized by the International Mathematical Union, each year a different theme is chosen to stimulate creativity and highlight the connections between mathematics and the world around us: in 2022, for example, participants had to reflect on mathematics as a universal language, while last year the concept was 'Mathematics for all'.
The theme chosen this year, however, is that of games: from puzzles to brain teasers, from board games to card games.
As always, there are many events scheduled all over the world, starting with the interactive competition open to all organized by Umi: a challenge that aims to recognize mathematics in our daily lives and immortalize it in a snapshot, with the most beautiful images that will be published on the site .
NASA also joins the celebrations, which this year proposes a challenge to solve some of the problems continually encountered by researchers and engineers busy designing missions for the exploration of other planets and the cosmos, from the James Webb space telescope to the Dart planetary defense mission.
